Today’s
scripture: 1 Peter 1:13
Rest …
This seems to be a sadly-lacking commodity in our world today. Everyone is just so tired.
Physical rest. But also spiritual rest.
So many people are busy trying to find salvation or work for grace. They go, go, go and push, push, push … so much that they’re spiritually exhausted.
Salvation is not about us and what we can do. Salvation is about God and what He has already done. We are invited to “rest [our] hope fully upon … grace …”
Did you see that? “Fully on grace.”
Grace has paid the penalty. Grace has covered the sin.
Remember Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11:28-29? He invites us all:

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (NASB)All you have to do is “come”; Jesus is waiting.
